Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts (vastu)Khāta (खात) or Khātahoma refers to certain rituals performed before the construction of a Temples (mandira), as discussed in chapter 6 of the Viṣṇutilakasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 3500 Sanskrit verses covering the typically “agamic” subjects which are being narrated by Brahmā to a number of sages.—Description of the chapter [mandira-nirmāṇa]: In undertaking to construct a temple, the first thing to do is to select a properly qualified Ācārya-director (3-10). He, with others, will select a suitable site (11-21, 236-239), perform the various preliminary pacification rites (22- 35a) and attend to the matter of town-planning consequent to planning a shrine and forming a settlement around it (35b-67a). After plowing the site and attending to certain attendent matters (67b-85), a pit is dug and khāta-homa rites are performed (86-96) followed by the installation of a miniature icon in a miniature replica of the temple. [...]
Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, vāstuśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions.

In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureKhāta (खात) refers to a “ditch” (suitable for performing offering ceremonies), according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly [as the Bhagavān taught the detailed offering-manual], “[...] One should prepare a square [space] measuring a hasta, very smooth and well smeared. It should be sprinkled with perfumed water all around. Four Nāga kings should be prepared in the middle of the ditch (khāta-madhya). Full of brownish cow dung and clay a nine-headed [Nāga king should be prepared] with a hood and a coiled body. [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
India history and geography
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryKhāta.—(EI 19), a well. Note: khāta is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
